In this latest version of our mock draft, we have yet another change at the NO. 1 pick. While it’s believed that Joel Embiid still has a chance to be the top pick and Julius Randle’s status is rising, Andrew Wiggins is bound to enter the conversation again and the Bucks have wanted him all year long.

This could then create a scenario where the Celtics watch Jabari Parker fall into their laps, assuming he declares and leaves Duke before the deadline next week.

Here’s a look at the latest reverse standings and who teams could be targeting if the draft ends up shaking out this way.
